Two men who are accused of beating a fan at an Orioles game last year danced to the song "YMCA" as their victim lay bleeding with a fractured skull on a concrete floor below them, the man alleges in a $5 million lawsuit filed last week. Matthew Fortese, who was 25 at the time of the alleged attack, says Gregory Fleishman and Michael David Bell taunted him and his date during a game between the Orioles and the Washington Nationals last May at Camden Yards. When the Hagerstown man tried to confront them, he says in the lawsuit, Fleishman "sucker punched" him in the head, sending him to intensive care.

Susan Sachs Fleishman knew very little about her mother's early life in Nazi Germany. She didn't know that her mother had sat calmly atop a daybed hiding her uncle while the Nazis searched the house for him during Krystallnacht. She didn't know that her grandparents had died in concentration camps. She certainly didn't know that her mother, as a teen-ager, had written poems so stunning that some would call her another Anne Frank.Shortly after her mother's death in 1991, she began learning these things.

A school bus carrying children to the National Aquarium was hit by a van and overturned along the Baltimore-Washington Parkway yesterday morning in a four-vehicle accident that left them briefly trapped, screaming and crying for their mothers. But tragedy was averted. Though more than 20 people were injured, none died. By the end of the day, all the children, who were from a Washington day camp, had been sent home from area hospitals, authorities said. Among the injured were a convict serving a life sentence for murder and the two correctional officers who had been driving him to a medical appointment, and the most seriously hurt - a worker who was struck by one of the vehicles as she sprayed pesticide along the parkway.

I HAVE HEARD way too many politicians suggest we display our patriotism in the wake of the terrorist attacks by going shopping and spending money. I guess maxing out the credit cards is a form of sacrifice for the greater good. But my suggestion for patriotic display -- if, by patriotic, we mean keeping faith with the principles of this nation and making it strong -- runs closer to what I saw Annie Davis do early yesterday, the day after her old friend Bea Gaddy died. Annie Davis baked about 50 dinner rolls and gave them away in front of Gaddy's food pantry for the poor on Collington Avenue.
